PART II, SECTION 3  PERSPECTIVES
OF SPECIFIC GROUPS

USING MODULE 7 IN TRAINING PROGRAM

REFUGEES AND ESC RIGHTS

The purpose of Module 7 is to summarize
international, regional and domestic standards re­lated to the ESC rights
of refugees.

This module should help trainees understand/clarify for themselves:

the definition of a refugee;

international and domestic legal standards protecting the ESC rights
of refugees; and

the problem of forced migration.

Suggested Methods

¨ Lecture: For a group that is
not working on refugee issues, a lecture presentation of the module could
be made.

¨ Field visit plus lecture: For
a group working on refugee issues, a more in-depth presenta­tion should
be made. Where possible, participants could undertake a field visit to
a refu­gee camp for ascertaining some of the economic, social and cultural
entitlements of refu­gees and whether they are being met. Following a
visit, participants should share what they learned from the field visit.
This should be followed by a lecture presentation on refugees and ESC
rights.
